Gec'mulus viridis rohinsoni, Kloss, Ibis, 1918, p. 105 (Giuting Bidei, 



Selangor-Pabaug boundary, 2000 ft.) : L., p. 101 (Ghirbi). 

 Gecinulus viridis, B.um.e,iitra.jFesithevs,ix, 1880, p. 112 (Kasoom). 



The occurrence of this race in the Kingdom of Siam rests on 



the specimen from Ghirbi above quoted, and on another from 



Kasoom in the British Museum. Our bird is, of course, somewhat 



intermediate between the southern race and the typical form from 



North Tenasserim.
